Dark Country

Dark Country Synopsis

After the bloodshed in Fenton, Arizona, former Detroit cop Kurt Argento had to disappear. He re-emerges in the small town of Brand, South Dakota, working under an assumed name as a church handyman. It's a serene existence of tending to the church grounds and avoiding questions.

Until he meets 17-year-old Majed, a Syrian refugee trying to build a life in Brandt with his single mother, as he's running for his life. Two men with hard eyes are close behind. Argento steps in, and Majed's pursuers retreat with a thin excuse about a stolen wallet.

It's a story Argento doesn't buy for a second. Digging deeper, he uncovers something far more lethal than a street-level shakedown. Majed isn't just in trouble - he's a target.

And the hunters are closing in. To safeguard Majed, Argento hits the road with the boy, pushing West. And along the way it becomes clear that whatever Majed knows - or carries - someone powerful wants it and will kill to get it.
